Burnkane - You Know (Planet Mu)

Planet Mu - undoubtedly one of if not the electronic label of 2009 - their new 12 showcases the electro-acoustic dubstep of Washington DC's Burnkane, who used to produce drum & bass as Beatwife. 'You Know' starts with the sawing of a treated cello, around which clattering beats and a gloopy vocal refrain tumble and thrash. The presiding air of post-Burial mournfulness takes a step towards anger on the seething 'You Will Forget', its chanted vocal and vengeful MC'ing of James J.K. Hughes characterising the track as a darkside R'n'B stepper (listen).
